STUDENT ACCOUNTS BILLING FAQ’s FOR
NEW AND RETURNING STUDENTS
Frequently Asked Questions
We know that the preparation of financial planning can be very confusing for students and families. We hope that this page will be helpful for your financial planning.
Q. When do students receive their student bills?
Students will be notified by the Registar’s Office when it’s time to register for classes. Once the student has registered for classes for the upcoming semester, then the Student Accounts Office will promptly mail the student an Estimated Student Bill* and a Student Bill Notification to the Student.
*Please note that the first bill is estimated, so if a student changes their class schedules, then their bill and payment plan may change.

Q. Where are student bills sent?
Before classes begin, each student will be sent 2 copies of their Estimated Student bill and a Student Billing Notice to the address that the student has provided to the school. After classes begin, monthly statements may be placed in student mailboxes on campus. Please note that all student bills will be distributed to students only and that we do not mail monthly billing statements to parents.
- Please sign one copy of the Estimated Student Bill and mail to the Student Accounts Office. All students are required to return one signed copy of their Estimated Student bill.
We encourage students to be responsible to clearly communicate with parents when they receive their monthly statements, especially if their parent's are helping them to pay their student bill. Ultimately, it is the students responsibility to make sure they are on task with making payments.

Q. Can I view my Student Account bill online?
Yes, after classes begin, we will electronically bill your student account. Once that happens, then your bill will no longer be estimated, the online student account billing will be an accurate account of your financial records. You will be able to view your student account bill online through your LIFE Link account.
LIFE Link Account: Each student will have a LIFE Link account that will give them access online to their Financial Aid and Billing. You can access this by going to LIFE Link *.
*The Registar’s Office will provide new students instructions on how to log on and use their Life Link account.
If your parents are assisting you in paying for school, students can give their parent’s access to their LIFE Link account so that they can see what you owe once your account has been electronically billed.

Q. What if I have a Hold on my Student Account?
Typically, if you have a hold on your Student Account, it is because you have an outstanding balance from a previous semester.
A Student Accounts Hold can affect you in these ways…
- Your ability to register for classes may be affected.
- Your ability to return to school the next semester may be affected (please see the above question for more specific information).
- You will not be able to request Official Transcripts unless your balance is paid in full.
Once a student has paid their Student Account in full, the Hold will be removed and they can return to school or request your Official Transcripts from the Registrar’s Office.
If you have questions or would like to make a payment, please contact the Student Accounts Office (909) 599-5433.
